My Guest Post & Boards Featured at Layla Grayce!

I was so excited to see my guest post for retailer Layla Grayce go live today! I was honored when I was contacted by Paulette Pearson, the Marketing Director for retailers Layla Grayce & Zinc Door, to write a post about the benefits of using affiliated site Olioboard to help people with their online shopping experience. I was referred to Layla Grayce from Sheilah MacSporran, the CEO of Olioboard as well as Leslie Carothers, the CEO of the Kaleidoscope Partnership (your interior design & home furnishings industry "go to" source for Social Media Marketing). If you missed my guest post about Olioboard Overview & Benefits, be sure to head over the The Backroom Blog on the Layla Grayce site. You'll also be able to shop my 12 Layla Grayce Bedroom Picks I featured on my boards. For additional items or more options for the bedroom design board, see also my Pinterest board: Retail Faves | Layla Grayce.

I had worked in retail as a visual merchandiser & store planner for twenty six years and I can totally see the wave of change & opportunity for virtual visual merchandising happening now. If you are a retailer and would like a guest post and lifestyle board created for you, contact me at nyclqd@yahoo.com.

Hello and Welcome to Focal Point Styling! I'm Lynda - sharing simple solutions to style your home, fashion & decor trends, savvy shopping tips, market events, plus local love from the places I've lived. I started this blog back in late 2009 when I lived in Miami. In 2011, I moved to Phoenix, AZ and rented a house until late 2014, when I relocated back east to the Triad in North Carolina - Join me on my journey!

Thanks very much for the shout out in this wonderful post. I really appreciate it.

I am grateful to have Olioboard as one of my company's social media clients but it takes a global village to make it all work and grow -- and your passion for Olioboard over the past two years and how you're using/have used your amazing visual and graphic skills on Olioboard to grow your own business since you've moved to Arizona is a wonderful thing to witness!

You did such a great job on your post for Layla Grayce! You're an outstanding *organizer of visual information* in ways that make it easy for other people to get ideas for their own homes.

Your Olioboards inspire millions of their site visitors from around the world and I hope others reading this comment will stop by to see the many beautiful and unique room ideas you've created on http://olioboard.com/users/nyclq.

In addition, I hope (know!) your readers will really enjoy seeing what you're going to be creating in the next monthly OlioHop blog hop you'll be part of that will happen on Monday, Oct. 8th on the theme of *Fashion + Decor* to tie in with the upcoming fall High Point Market.

With 9 other bloggers participating, including Jane in the comment above, (another talented visual organizer on Olioboard!) , everyone is sure to come away inspired!

Also, your readers are invited over to enter and play the custom design contest launching next Monday, Oct. 1 on http://laylagrayce.com that will be powered by a custom designed Olioboard platform for Layla Grayce.

Every 2 weeks for 8 weeks, there will be a new design contest on Layla Grayce with major cash prizes for each group of 3 winners and a grand prize at the end for the overall winner.

Thank you again, Lynda, and, also, thank you for reaching out on Twitter to help those with less experience than you feel good about their efforts and that, with time and patience, they, too, can make their own design dreams come true!

I hope brands looking for online virtual merchandisers will think of you after they see what you're capable of doing. You're right, this is the wave of the future and you're poised, right at the beginning of this new opportunity, to ride it all the way in ~

One day, I see you and Jeff in a penthouse in Miami looking down at those waves and thinking about how your move to Arizona... and the heat and how it forced you to stay inside and develop your social media channel on Olioboard....will be seen, in hindsight, as the best thing that ever happened to you :)
